2011 Awards Season

Jane Lynch kicked off today's Emmy Awards with a song and dance routine that included cameos from some of TV's most popular stars. Early supporting honours in a comedy went to small screen couple Modern Family's Julie Bowen and Ty Burrell, who actually beat out three of his male co-stars! Ty then made a memorable acceptance speech about his late father. Charlie Sheen made a controversial appearance to present outstanding lead actor in a comedy series with some of his old competitors. While some were worried about what he'd say in relation to his departure from Two and a Half Men, Charlie was polite and respectful. He said, "From the bottom of my heart, I wish you nothing but the best for this upcoming season. We spent eight wonderful years together, and I know you will continue to make great television." Jim Parsons from The Big Bang Theory ended up the winner, while Mike and Molly's Melissa McCarthy won in the corresponding female category. Her rivals like Amy Poehler and Tina Fey all gathered together onstage before the victor was announced, and it was a sweet moment of support among peers.

The opening number of an awards show is one of the things most people look forward to. This year’s Emmy Awards host Jane Lynch tapped into her musical Glee background to bring together lots of your favourite shows in one big song-and-dance number. After learning that all the shows are housed in one building, she moves between the rooms and we get cameos from the casts of The Big Bang Theory, Mad Men and more. Jane also sings about how things only occur in the wonderful world of TV — such as how “high school students look roughly 24” and how “patients are cured in an hour by doctors who work once a week.” We’ve heard it all before — there are only so many ways you can parody TV! — but Jane definitely brought a new energy to the segment. Watch the Emmys opening number below.

It was a glamorous night on the red carpet at the Emmy Awards in LA today. Outstanding supporting actress nominee Christina Hendricks glowed in a studded Johanna Johnson alongside her husband Geoffrey Arend and Julia Stiles looked lovely in Georges Hobeika Couture. Heidi Klum represented Project Runway in a custom Christian Siriano gown with her sexy man Seal on her arm while Jane Krakowski got glam in a lamé J. Mendel. Julianna Margulies, who picked up the award for outstanding actress in a drama for her role in The Good Wife, went strapless in a white Armani Prive.

Lots of ladies made a statement in bold red dresses including Kerry Washington and Sarah Hyland. Kate Winslet, who won her first Emmy for her work in Mildred Pierce, chose an Elie Saab gown in the hue. Nina Dobrev wowed in a bright Donna Karan dress with a gorgeous train while Glee's Lea Michele went with a backless Marchesa. Sofia Veraga maintained her sexy status with a Vera Wang look in a coral colour.

Parks and Recreation's Amy Poehler, who was nominated for outstanding actress in a comedy series, chose a tight Peter Som for her turn in front of the cameras. Charlie's Angels' Minka Kelly wore a lacy long-sleeve Dior gown in navy, and Claire Danes rocked a sparkling strapless Oscar de la Renta.
